Blogger Comment:The greatest destroyer ever of the British dream and the British people’s quickly approaching unprecedented and ultimate fate in no less than 4-years now…the ubiquitous regime that is the UK’s Labour Party under the control of the Davos appointed WEF Prime Minster Starmer, where by 2030 it will be total suppressed together with their people, when the Globalists have total control of this once proud and strong nation that was once called Great Britain…for this is clear now and one of the final warnings to the rest of the westen world, as you are on the list too for this same outcome and will be fully captive to this most repressive regime of all time in the history of numanity…believe me it is coming now and we had all thought that we had left the 1930s Germany nightmare behind us forever and the genocide of Europe, but not so it now definitely appears, as Europe including the UK as well this time, will be consumed by these dark forces of the Globalist elites and controlleed by their puppet leaders, where only four western nations are free from the stranglehold of the world’s most powerful elites in Davos…

Britain has taken a major step toward full-scale digital surveillance, with a sweeping expansion of the UK’s Orwellian censorship laws now in force that legally compels tech platforms to scan, detect, and suppress “illegal” user content before anyone can see it.

The latest expansion is an update to the socialist UK government’s anti-free speech Online Safety Act.

The new Online Safety Act 2023 (Priority Offenses) (Amendment) Regulations 2025 took effect on January 8, 2026.

Under the new updates, the government elevates so-called “priority offenses,” including cyberflashing and encouraging or assisting serious self-harm, into the highest enforcement tier under the Act.

That designation triggers the most extreme compliance requirements in the law.

Under the new rules, any service that allows user interaction, from private messaging apps and social media platforms to forums and search engines, is now required to monitor communications at scale for “illegal content.”

Platforms are now under orders to preemptively block prohibited material before users even encounter it.

This is not moderation after the fact.

It is preemptive censorship by design.

To comply, platforms are expected to deploy automated surveillance systems, including AI-driven scanning tools that analyze text, images, and video in real time, even inside spaces traditionally regarded as private.

The UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) showcased the policy shift in a promotional video depicting a smartphone automatically scanning AirDropped images and issuing a warning that an “unwanted nude” had been detected.

The message is unmistakable and confirms that private digital communications are now subject to continuous background monitoring.

In its official announcement, DSIT said the new regulations force companies to “take proactive steps to prevent this vile content before users see it,” framing the move as part of a government pledge to halve violence against women and girls within a decade.

Technology Secretary Liz Kendall openly celebrated the expansion.

“We’ve cracked down on perpetrators of this vile crime — now we’re turning up the heat on tech firms,” Kendall said.

“Platforms are now required by law to detect and prevent this material.”

So-called “Safeguarding” Minister Jess Phillips echoed the sentiment.

“By placing the responsibility on tech companies to block this vile content before users see it, we are preventing women and girls from being harmed in the first place,” she said.

But behind the moral framing lies a structural transformation of the Internet itself.

To meet the law’s requirements, platforms must perform mass scanning of user-generated content, including private messages, shared images, and uploads, regardless of whether users are suspected of wrongdoing.

Automated filters are now expected to judge legality, intent, and context instantly, a task they are notoriously bad at.

However, relying on automation means that false positives are inevitable, lawful speech will be swept up, and “free” expression will be chilled.

By forcing companies to predict and prevent “illegal content” before it exists in public view, the UK is embedding censorship directly into the infrastructure of online communication.

This is not about safety after harm occurs.

It is about continuous surveillance as the default condition.

Large sections of the digital public square, and private conversation, are now treated as environments to be monitored, filtered, and controlled, with privacy relegated to a secondary concern rather than a fundamental right.

What the government calls “online safety,” critics increasingly see it as a permanent surveillance regime quietly normalized under the banner of protection.
